Spoonfuls of Summer

This is mostly a base-concentrate made up of mint, sliced strawberries, blackberries and raspberries soaked in a mix of lime and strawberry cordials. It’s meant to be diluted with lemonade and served as a drink.

I froze some left-over concentrate and some of the already diluted mixture from Eid. I checked on it recently and found it made for a refreshing summer sorbet.

I am a freelance writer and photographer (look for me as ShootCake). I have an MA in Creative Writing from Rhodes University, Grahamstown and some of my work has appeared in local literary journals. A food pornographer by calling, I would like to one day create a confessional recipe book in measures of rhythm and breath.
